The Merry-Go-Round Got Looted

Here's a bunch of Lootaz that I painted for a buddy's clown-themed Ork army.  I'm pretty happy with them.  The mold lines were pretty terrible on this cast, actually and I did my best, but I think that they turned out okay.   I wasn't sure I could reproduce his bases, so I didn't. Again, please CLICK the images for larger versions. This guy with the acid-spitting flower pin is probably better used as a Burna, but who knows what kind of Acid-Shooting Flower Technology (ASFT) the Orks have at their disposal?   I'm riffing on the fake "BANG!" gun gag here. I hope people get it. Who really knows how Ork Technology works?  To me, it makes perfect sense that an Ork with a Sousaphone is capable of seriously deadly, long-range firepower.  Since I'm an Ork player, then that makes it a real thing.  If you're confused about that, just refer to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on the topic of how to fly .

El Queso Grande Complete

The Stompa build is complete.  I've got nothing really to add to what I've already said except that I kind of half-assed the OSL and treated this thing kind of like a piece of terrain overall.  It's a big monster and I am only willing to put so much time into it. Having said that, I'm quite proud of it overall and look forward to games featuring it in the future.  Now I just need to get some custom foam made for him as he is still a lot more fragile than a regular model and he'll also be quite susceptible to dust cling.  I'll probably put him in a plastic grocery bag to keep the dust off. I won the model at Adepticon 2013 during Boota Town, so a big thanks to MightyTim and the Freebootaz.

Leviathan Crusader Stompa Build

So, at Adepticon this year, I attended Boota Town and was lucky enough to win a Leviathan Crusader.    Immediately, of course, I informed my compatriots that this Leviathan Crusader had no idea about what was about to happen to it! I decided I wanted to actually build the model properly first so that all the articulation would work and possibly actually make it seem as if it had been properly looted.  So, here's a shot of it right after the initial build (note that not all of the plates were added): By the looks of the thing, I think that, story-wise, this is a Grey Knights mini-titan of some kind which the Orks of WAAGH! Drillteef has captured and looted. My initial additions were a bit weak.  The model is so huge that it's tough to get a grip on where to start. So, I hemmed and hawed over the arms a bit and tightened them up a little. While they needed some straightening out, I thought it was best that I move on to the body and do some r...

9000 Points

It seems that 9000 points has snuck up on me.  I'm super proud of this milestone.  Only one Stompa and a couple of HQs from 10,000 points.  At that point, I hope to do a full unit breakdown.  I have some commissions to take care of first. I forgot to add the bastion to this picture, but that's fine.  The table was freaking FULL! WAAGH!
